Prithvi Shaw
India announced its playing XI on the eve of the first day-night Test starting today at Adelaide. Prithvi Shaw will open the batting, and Wriddhiman Saha will keep wickets, as Shubman Gill and Rishab Pant miss out. Australia also has top-order concerns going into the marquee series, with David Warner out injured. The hosts will choose their XI before start of play.
Poor form
Shaw has been in poor form and his technique has also been questioned but skipper Virat Kohli made it clear that both Shubman Gill and KL Rahul are not in his scheme of things as of now.
